See if you can get them to change the plugs. And let it warm up to full operating temperature and listen for a tick. look for rust,leaks,bad wear on tires.

Currently have a 99 f150 and looking to buy a newer truck and I found one on craigslist being sold by a dealership. Its a 2007 fx4 with leather and entertainment center. 5.4L engine with roughly 100k miles. They want 19900 for it. Is that a decent price and is there anything I should look out for on these newer body styles?
I got my 2004 Lariat with 34,000 miles for $ 18,500
I say keep looking.

For me I got an 05 FX4 with 109k for $16K. It had leather, entertainment, 3" body lift, 20" rims, and 35" tires. I thought it was a little high at first and went to do a little research and realized I probably wasn't going to find a better deal that was in my area anytime soon.
I probably could've saved $2k if I went out state. But I really didn't feel like going that route.
It really comes down to YOU. If you feel comfortable.
